The Returnees
You have now learned from Chapter Eight of Ten Steps that a part of effective reading is to do the following: be aware of the author's purpose at all times and to be aware of the tone. To practice this skill here is your homework for Week 8:
Happy 4th of July Everyone!
Please use one of the following:
1. research - when you don't know the answer to a question, you search out the answer by completing research.
2. evidence--this is another word for support. You need evidence to make your case about a topic or argument. Without evidence, your writing is weak. Sometimes, you can be the source and the evidence!
3. Source--Your 'source' or 'sources' is the author or the site where you found the information. Did you get it from a website? a book? You 'cite' your source in your paper when telling your reader what you have found.
4. 5 senses--perhaps you can use your 5 senses to describe your experience
5. Who + 5--who, what where, when, why, and how.
6. Source validity-- make sure the source and evidence that you find is valid. Who wrote it? For what reason? What is the author's purpose? Is this evidence all one-sided or biased? You need to know the answers to these questions before using evidence in your work.
Ok... Have a great day!

Chapter 8- Purpose and Tone
In Chapter eight you were asked to be aware of the reason of why the author is writing a text: is it to inform, persuade or entertain. You were also asked to be aware of the author's attitude and feeling about a subject. This is called the tone or the voice of the text. Once you read the chapter review on page 336 of Ten Steps, this is your homework for week 7:
